5 Agenda 1. Introduction to the Project 2. Country Experiences 3. Green Public Procurement (GPP) Guidelines 4. Implementing GPP 5. Recommendations on Legislation for GPP
6 Although GPP has existed in India, it lacked a coherent policy 1991 India launched its own voluntary eco-labelling scheme called EcoMark (linked with environmental considerations as well as quality) GPP initiatives by local governments, ministries or government departments such as CFL lights GP initiatives in industries involved in global supply chains. MNCs have also launched GP programmes Most of these initiatives, do not form a part of a coherent GPP strategy
7 Japan, one of the few countries to have a formalized Green Purchasing Law Promotion of Greener Purchasing By Ministries and Agencies Establishment of the Basic Policy for the Procurement of Eco-Friendly Goods etc. Direction for Promoting Green Procurement Designated Procurement Items and Evaluation Criteria Local Governments Create or update existing versions of green procurement policies every fiscal year Procure goods and services based on the policies Ministries and Agencies Each organization creates and publicizes a Procurement Policy Procurement of goods and services based on Procurement Policies Report on the results and achievements of Green Procurement Requests from the Minister of the Environment and other ministries to be taken into account Ministries and agencies should not increase or adjust their total procurement amount for the reason of implementing this law. Responsibility for Businesses / Citizens: Consciously purchase eco- friendly goods as much as possible
8 Experiences from other countries also fed into the development of GPP guidelines in India I II III IV V Section 24 of the Constitution provides that everyone has the right to have the environment protected, for the benefit of present and future generations, through reasonable legislative and other measures that: prevent pollution and ecological degradation; promote conservation; and Secure ecologically sustainable development and use of natural resources while promoting justifiable economic and social development EU has set up GPP, a set of guidelines for environmental procurement It has also set itself targets for GPP - a political target of 50 per cent GPP in 2010 GPP criteria for 10 priority product and service groups Detailed list of energy saving products that could be purchased by government bodies (2005) Environmental labeling programme Certified green products are also found on government procurement lists Green products inventory for greening Government procurement at the central and provincial level with implementation underway Presidential decree on the use of ozonedepleting substances Mandatory to buy only certified wood in government procurement Blue angel label in 1977 The federal government has a policy to procure sustainable timber Federal waste laws require federal purchasers to investigate aspects related to recycling, product life and durability when drafting procurement specifications
9 Agenda 1. Introduction to the Project 2. Country Experiences 3. Green Public Procurement (GPP) Guidelines 4. Implementing GPP 5. Recommendations on Legislation for GPP
10 GPP Product List finalized on the basis of We underwent several rounds of iterations to arrive at the product list for green public procurement Japanese basic policy on promoting green purchasing Since Japan was looked upon as the best GPP model, the initial product list was completely drawn from Japanese policy DGS&D rate contract list The Core Group pointed out that DGS&D product list (rate contract) should also be looked at to understand government procurement better It also opined that a realistic product list should be looked at In a discussion with MoEF, it was agreed that only daily-use products would be looked at Discussions with Core Group & MoEF Accordingly the GPP project list underwent changes products were now selected on the basis of the following: Product categories where standards are already developed Manufacturers already have environment-friendly practices in place High purchase product categories (High, in terms of both quantity and value)
11 The final product list that emerged Paper IT Equipment Furniture GPP Products Public Works Pharmaceuticals (Basic Drugs) Lighting Electrical Appliances Mobile Phones Water Coolers and Purifiers
12 Challenges/ Barriers that had to be dealt with Green products perceived to be more expensive Lack of environmental knowledge Lack of managerial support Lack of tools and information Absence of a single uniform approach for defining criteria Lack of training
13 To resolve such barriers, a multi-stakeholder process was adopted Bring in technical competence Eventually needs to be adopted and implemented by these stakeholders Can convince their supply chains for adopting green procurement Industry/ Associations Means: Online consultations, meetings, etc. External: Companies, Associations, Relevant ministries, etc. Internal: Core Group, GBC, IGBC, etc.
14 A product-based approach was adopted to examine environmental impacts Taking a productbased approach Focusing on key environmental issues Building on existing policy instruments Contributing to policy coherence Climate change Sustainable resource use Have a clear sustainability focus Are most suited to address key challenges Strengthen existing systems Develop new policies Ensure coherence Avoid overlaps
15 Agenda 1. Introduction to the Project 2. Country Experiences 3. Green Public Procurement (GPP) Guidelines 4. Implementing GPP 5. Recommendations on Legislation for GPP
16 Effective implementation of GPP can happen only if it is integrated at each stage of the procurement process Identifying need and assessing risk Contract Management Technical Specifications GPP Award Criteria Selection Criteria
17 Additional measures will have to be put in place to facilitate GPP Budgetary Mechanisms Increased budgets for implementing agencies Price preference to cover the supply of green goods and services Voluntary initiatives EMAS or ISO (or equivalent systems) can be used by suppliers to prove compliance with environment management measures Communication Highly visible communication campaigns of various examples/ best practices of green procurement A GPP website - serve as a central point for all information on green procurement Institutional Framework Senior officials in all government bodies and departments to stress that GPP should be ingrained in procurement processes Departmental champions could be identified to drive the GPP process The creation of an inter-ministerial GPP task force with accumulated GPP expertise may be considered
18 Agenda 1. Introduction to the Project 2. Country Experiences 3. Green Public Procurement (GPP) Guidelines 4. Implementing GPP 5. Recommendations on Legislation for GPP
19 Recommendations on GPP Legislation offer Provides recommendations to the Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF) on how it could uptake green public procurement in India Offers suggestions on the establishment of an institutional framework Charts out suggestive roles and responsibilities for different ministries Roles and responsibilities of businesses to promote greener goods and services
